Muley's Kids Message "Easter Symbols: What's it Mean?" - 4/12/2020

Typically, the kids go to Kids' Congo before the regular services, and since we're unable to do that presently we're doing these little messages.  In celebration of Easter with First Congo, Muley is looking at the symbols we see around us during the holiday.  What do they mean?  Why do we use them?  Watch below to see what Muley found out:

Muley Reads: Litterbugs Come In Every Size

For Earth Day, we chose to read one of our very favorite books: Litterbugs Come in Every Size!  Are YOU a litterbug?  Or, do you take care of the planet?

Lots of people don't even think about it, but when I have trash - big or small - I hold on to it until I get to a trashcan.  I've seen people riding down the road throwing out all sorts of things from their windows, including a box of bones (YUCK!).  You know, you'll be home soon with a trashcan to put that in.

I also pick up trash from the street, sidewalk, ground.  It makes everything nice, clean, and comfortable.  Be sure to do your part also!

Muley Reads is a series of videos starring Muley the Mule reading some of his favorite books - and we hope some of yours - wishing to inspire a love of reading, learning, imagining, and creation in children of all ages!  And, as always, we love the books that communicate about people, animals, environment, love, and friendship.  Some of Muley's special friends may even pop in to request a book.

"Reading is fundamental!"  Books add the fun, Muley adds "da mental!"

Grab your family together, grab a snack or two, and sit back to relax while Muley Reads!!

Muley's Kids Message "Support" - 3/22/2020

We typically do a message for the kids and their grown-ups about once a month.  Today, we add a new one since so many are going to be stuck in their houses.  Also, you can normally catch a service at First Congo at 10:30 am on a Sunday Morning.  This Sunday, March 22, 2020, they will be streaming live at www.firstcongo.com  Be sure to check it out, especially if you thought about going but weren't sure if you wanted to go in person.  Lots of nice people there.


"Support is made up of 2 syllables, and for only two syllables SUPPORT carries a LOT of weight!"

Who do you surround yourself with?  Those who bring you joy and build you up; or, those who suck the energy right out of you?  If someone isn't good for you, you know it - and it is perfectly okay to walk away from those individuals.

Take care of yourself first, because you can't help others until you help yourself.

In crazy times, look to those who support you and be sure you give them support.

World Puppetry Day March 21, 2020

For world puppetry day, Muley plays with my very first puppet that I ever made, Chester, who was part of the original comics and puppetry cast of characters.  I couldn't ever make a proper personality for the character, so I retired him.



(Secret inside note: Chester is the name of the man that one of my friends' mom cheated on her husband with, and I happened to just like the name which upset my friend who was afraid her father, a drunk, would find out the connection; but, I kept the name.)

Muley's Kids Message "Plenty" - 3/15/2020

First Congo was closed today (and next Sunday, 3/21) due to the corona-virus, or better known as COVID-19.  Since there was no church to be had, Muley DID share a quick message for the kids today.  Why?  Just because.  And, there's a little something in there for adults, too.


Looking forward to when we can be together again!
